Bursa, one of the last stops and important centers of the Silk Road route in Anatolia, is known as a city identified with silk and sericulture. The terms "silk" and "sericulture" are among the values that have carried the name, greenery and beauty of Bursa to the ends of the world with caravans for centuries.
The first stage of silk farming, silkworm farming, dates back to ancient times. Towards the end of the Byzantine period, Bursa started to be considered the center of silk and silkworms. After the Ottomans conquered Bursa, during the reign of Orhan Bey, Bursa became a center in terms of sericulture. In the 14th and 15th centuries, Bursa silk was the mainstay of the Ottoman economy.
With unique designs typical of the Ottoman period, the quality and workmanship of these scarves is truly extraordinary and a perfect compliment to our collection.
Each scarf is made in one-off batches with hand knotted tassels and varies slightly in length. They truly are unique in every sense.
